HAWKE’S BAY VINEYARDS — FOR DELICIOUS CHARDONNAY FROM NZ

Hawke’s Bay contributes a substantial amount of the fruit used for many Babich wines, including the iconic Irongate range, famous for its Chardonnay, and The Patriarch — our unparalleled flagship red wine.

It has a tradition of quality table winemaking which stretches back to the 19th century, its reputation evolving steadily as a source of deep-flavoured and slowly evolving Hawke’s Bay Chardonnays, robust and tropical Sauvignon Blancs and stylish, scented Cabernet and Merlot-based reds, more recently adding Gewurztraminer, Viognier and Syrah.
